Method/Procedure:
We have used two high-density polythene (HDPE) water tanks (eg. SYNTEX) with volumes of
typically 0.75m3 and 1m3. The smaller tank is the gas holder and is inverted over the larger one. The
larger tank holds the decomposing LEFTOVER FOOD and water (mixture). An inlet is provided for
adding feedstock, and an overflow for removing the digested residue. The overflow mixture can be
recycled into the plant. A pipe takes the bio-gas for consumption. The gas holder gradually rises as
gas is produced, and sinks down again as the gas is used. Weights are placed on the top of the gas
holder to increase the pressure of the gas.
Unique Features:
1.5 - 2 kg of LEFTOVER FOOD produces about 500 g of methane, and the reaction is
completed with 24 48 hours. The conventional biogas systems, using cattle dung, sewerage,
etc. use about 40 kg feedstock to produce the same quantity of methane, and require about 40
days to complete the reaction. Our system is 20 times as efficient as the conventional system,
and from the point of view of reaction time, it is 40 times as efficient.
Application:
The Methane gas generated can be used for making breakfast, tea, coffee and even meals as
per seeing the family size. The cost of making can be reduced drastically and money can be
saved. This whole process is environment friendly pollution free.
In a Our bio-gas system, a 1.5kg LEFT OVER food produces about 500gm of methane, and the
reaction is completed in 24 48 hours. Conventional bio-gas systems use cattle dung or
human excrete, and 40kg feedstock is required to produce the same quantity of methane. The
reaction time in conventional bio-gas systems is 40 days. Thus, our waste bio-gas system is 20
times more efficient than conventional bio-gas systems.
